ALL ROSS CO. HICKLE FAMILY

Hi,
I've been trying to find information regarding Henry Hickle, Jr.'s marriage to my 4th G-Grandmother Sarah A. MAY (b. 1832 in OH; d. 26 Nov 1915 in OH).
Henry and Sarah married in 1854 in Ross County, OH.They had a child, Althea Jane, who in turn eventually married Chauncey Sebastian FOUST.According to one source, Sarah died early in her daughter's life and thus Henry remarried...to a Sarah A. REEDY.I know for a fact that Sarah MAY did not die when Althea was a child.I have a picture of her as an elderly woman.I also know that Sarah remarried to a WHIPP...possibly a Daniel WHIPP.Family legend has it that Sarah was the first woman in the state of OH to file for a divorce.I don't know if her being the first is true, but filing for a divorce would explain why that generation of the HICKLE family would have not dealt with the "scandal" of a divorce.I was hoping that you'd be able to shed more light on this area for me.I do have moregenealogical info I could send if needed.
Sarah A. MAY, daughter of Samuel MAY and Charity LONG.
